Forward VNS, Reverse VNS, and Multi-VNS Algorithms for Job-Shop Scheduling Problem [PDF]

Modelling and Simulation in Engineering, 2016
This paper proposes a number of forward VNS and reverse VNS algorithms for job-shop scheduling problem. The forward VNS algorithms are the variable neighborhood search algorithms applied to the original problem (i.e., the problem instance with the ...

High intensity VNS disrupts VNS-mediated plasticity in motor cortex [PDF]

Brain Research, 2021
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) paired with motor rehabilitation enhances recovery of function after neurological injury in rats and humans. This effect is ascribed to VNS-dependent facilitation of plasticity in motor networks. Previous studies document an inverted-U relationship between VNS intensity and cortical plasticity, such that moderate ...

How to fail with paired VNS therapy

Brain Stimulation, 2023
Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has gained enormous traction as a promising bioelectronic therapy. In particular, the delivery of VNS paired with training to promote neural changes has demonstrated clinical success for stroke recovery and found far ...

The effect of vagus nerve stimulation on heart rate and respiration rate and their impact on seizure susceptibility in anaesthetized rats under pentylenetetrazol [PDF]

Frontiers in Neuroscience
Despite the proven efficacy of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) in seizure control, its precise mechanism of action remains unclear. VNS is known to impact the cardiorespiratory system.

VNS parameters for clinical response in Epilepsy

Brain Stimulation, 2022
While vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) has been in use for over two decades, little professional guidance exists to describe dosing and titration of therapy which is the consequence of a limited amount of evidence developed during the pre-market phase of therapy development.

Right‐sided vagus nerve stimulation: Worldwide collection and perspectives [PDF]

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology
Objective Vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) is an established therapy for drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) and is indicated for implantation on the left vagus nerve‐only. In rare cases right‐sided VNS may be the only option.

The effect of vagal nerve stimulation treatment on autonomic nervous system in patients with refractory epilepsy [PDF]

Frontiers in Neurology
IntroductionVagal nerve stimulation (VNS) is a treatment that can be used in drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) patients who are not suitable for resective surgery. Effects of VNS on the autonomic system are controversial.

Bi-level VNS therapy with different therapy modes at night and daytime improves seizures and quality of life in a patient with drug-resistant epilepsy

Epilepsy & Behavior Reports, 2023
Induction or aggravation of sleep apnea is a known side effect of vagus nerve stimulation (VNS). We report the case of a 44 year old male with drug-resistant epilepsy and depression who did not experience any seizure reduction after 1 year of VNS but a ...
